Also the absence of I2a1 (Dinaric) Balkanic haplogroup from these Areas.

Dorian invasion wasn't an invasion.

The skeletons found during the Dorian peiord were mostly Cro Mags/Alpines and Meds. My theory it was a reverse migration from where Thessalian Neolithic and Early LBK met - possibly wars or lack of fertile ground/seawater/ forced them to migrate back southwards after intermixing with Early LBK for ~2000 years

So I would label Dorians as Thessalian Neolithic + Early LBK

We have samples from Mycenaean era and samples from Iron Age much later the collapse of Mycenaean world and the Dorian domination. These samples are identical. This proves that Dorians were not different than other Greek tribes.

Yes probably a little bit of Alpine Celtic but mostly Neolithic.

Its what most likely has been the case

[Anaximander]

I don't know what to do with all this

What i know is that about Dorians everything has been claimed,that they came from the North that they were Germanic,that they were Poles,South Slavs,Ancient Albanians,Montenegers everything except that they were Greek

By the time they started coming , there wasnt such thing as Greek, dont get confused
As for they language, they most possibly spoke Greek language

[Anaximander]

HELLENICS WERE PARTLY SLAVIC, THEY WERE A INDO EUROPEAN GROUP NOT EXACTLY GERMANIC, PROBABLY THEY CAME FROM RUSSIAN STEPPES OR CAUCASUS, THRACIANS WERE THEIR ANCESTORS, READ THE BOOKS ABOUT GREEKS

Which book do u recommend?

I think you are confused about the Dorians and their relation to earlier Greeks the Mycanaeans

Hint read what the previous poster i quoted said also read about the Return of the Heraklidae

It was a reverse migration
